Our Naturopathic Clinic

It seems too often women, especially mothers, lose themselves in the course of motherhood, being a spouse, establishing themselves in their careers, and trying to balance it all. We keep pushing our own health and needs to the bottom of the pile as we care for everyone else.  Then, we come up for air as our children start to spread their wings and we hardly recognize ourselves anymore. I chose to become an ND to empower women to take charge of their own health, trust their bodies, and have transformative experiences along the path of their health journey.

All too often, women come in to my office having almost given up trying. They feel disgusted when they look in the mirror. They hate that they don’t have the energy to play with their kids and frequently lose patience and have reactions that are too much, too harsh. Energy disappears by the afternoon and by the end of the day they are completely exhausted. They want to have energy and enthusiasm at work but its all they can do to just show up. Relationships with partners are often strained: sex drive, what sex drive?

And along with all of this, their periods are changing: flow is heavier, cramps are worse, PMS turns them into raging crazy people, skipped cycles start happening or periods get closer and closer together to where they feel like it never ends. And then they are uncontrollably sweating at random moments; they wake up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night. Perimenopause is starting, and the options to help with the transition are limited.

Women will often tell me that, when they talk to their PCP about all of this, they feel unheard: they are told all their tests are normal, that maybe they are depressed and should try an antidepressant, maybe going back on the pill will help, or that every woman gets through it and they will too.

It doesn’t have to be this way. I know you’re not crazy, you know that there is a reason you don’t feel like yourself anymore. And I can help you figure out why. In Health Naturopathic Medicine is a family-centered, comfortable space where you will be welcomed warmly. Office visits are long enough for you to tell your whole story and really be heard. You can get back to the energetic, focused, healthy woman you want to be!
